<p>Not yet, but I can't wait to buy a shirt, what a great way to open up a conversation! </p>
<p>And good for you by the way.....more of us need to be visible and smother them with our charm....or whatever else might be needed. </p>

<p>I don't think the guy was crazy. He's just a bigot who thinks white people will take great offense if you call them African Americans in the typical bigot vernacular. Pretty pathetic.</p>

<p>Maybe he was crazy. The fact that he called you xyz, instead of 'stupid f'ing atheist' would belie your theory. As an aside, I'm an unapologetic atheist in the buckle of the belt, and my nextdoor neighbor, a fairly famous evangelical fundamentalist who helped found one of the US's more notorious evangelical organizations was ok with me babysitting his 5 kids.

<p>I think they prayed for me and my husband a lot, but alas, it didn't take. And now I'm here with you xyz's. Go figure. My coworker gave me a strange look when I told her I was atheist, and proclaimed she had "just never met one" when I asked her what the problem was. She's now my boss. We're not exactly friends, but that is not a product of anything other than the fact that she's just not very nice. I dislike her less than most, and I don't care if she likes me or no.</p> Do not ware a tee shirt like…tag:www.thinkatheist.com,2012-10-10:1982180:Comment:11918102012-10-10T08:00:05.244ZDeborah Morenohttp://www.thinkatheist.com/profile/DeborahMoreno

<p>Sadly, many in my extended family are card carrying rednecks. At a recent family reunion, I did find a few folks that thought nothing about validating the more extream ideas of the Occupy X Paranoid Redneck sub group. I have an Occupy leaning sensability, but my more rationalist desire for honesty, interfers with a full on protestor status/commitment.</p>

<p>I have seriously torqued some people off with my goddams, goddam-fuckings, godfuckingdamnits, etc. And I was raised to think "goddamn[ed]" was less obnoxious than "fucking" when used as an adjective.</p>
<p><br/>I never could figure out the point behind "Don't take the load's name in vain." The sentence doesn't even parse. If they said "Don't use god's name as a fucking cussword" it would at least make some modicum of sense.</p>

<p>I was at University of Tennessee with 10,000 kids at the Destination Imagination Global Finals in 2003. I was 7 months pregnant, and when I walked around the corner at the hotel and a kid was running at me full speed. We had a near miss, and I yelled, "Jesus Christ!"</p>
<p>As I was calming myself down, a lady came out of her hotel room and said, "Who's swearing out here?" (She was from the Mississippi group staying at the same hotel.) I sincerely said, "Someone's swearing?"</p>

<p>I'm not trying to defend the Christian scumbag in anyway but isn't wearing an atheist t-shirt in a southern Walmart a bit like carrying a sign that says lynch me please? If you're going to ask for it don't be surprised if you get it.</p>
